What the job involves

- You'll leverage your strong SQL, dbt, and visualization skills to build dashboards, reports, and analytics solutions that empower our go-to-market teams and external merchant partners to make data-driven decisions

- Technical Leadership and Process Improvement: Lead pitch development and technical investigations, identifying opportunities to improve data workflows, reduce costs, and enhance the scalability of analytics infrastructure
Our take
Credit card rewards often play a vital role in attracting new customers to a particular card over its competitors. But for newer fintech companies, setting up an attractive rewards program can be burdensome, requiring the issuer to negotiate with individual retail partners and manage the complexities of integration on a case-by-case basis.
Kard's platform enables businesses to create their own loyalty and rewards programs that are tailored to their specific needs and goals. Unlike other rewards platforms, Kard enables issuers to build unique rewards and loyalty experiences, making it easy for new issuers to mix and match from Kard's offerings and integrate those rewards into their own interface.
Kard is the first rewards platform that provides services to the entire spectrum of card issuers, and due to its innovative approach to the market, it has seen steady growth since its launch in 2020. Alongside its growth, Kard has secured funding from several investment organisations, including Trinity Capital in 2025. It plans to use this funding to accelerate hiring efforts and expand into new markets.
